I’d call it (yet more) circumstantial evidence..
Confirmation Bias.

I didn't imply anything regarding MM. I just remember that many of those members were personal family friends and while trying to assist with the "missing posters" and searches many things were repeated that should have been deleted or ignored. But, it was stressful time for everyone. imoImplying.....that Mike posted it. In what right frame of mind would he do that? It just seems illogical imo. Or anyone for that matter.
I love reading your posts but to say Chase shouldn’t of paid Joey back is laughable. IMO
He was the sole reason they lost the client so he should of paid him straight back not even in installments. As soon as Joey lost the chargeback Chase should of paid him all back then and there.

Meh - I think you are ducking me!
The defense know 100% what happened. The defense know Joey paid Chase 19K
So why would Maline be asking CJ 3x if Chase DIDN'T get paid?
I won't go on about it, but I think you have no choice but to acknowledge the defence is skewered on this one

The sole reason was because the woman or company wouldn't pay the final balance before it was completed IMO
This is a direct quote from the article I posted: ..."In July 2011, Kavanaugh ended up selling McStay's business, Earth Inspired Products"...True. But this was long after the disappearance.
I find this comment from the CNN program interesting:
WATTS: Somebody on the McStay's home have been searching on a computer for passwords and traveling to Mexico.
CNN.com - Transcripts
We have heard nothing about anyone searching for passwords... unless of course that was after they were reported missing and maybe the family/friends were looking on the computers, which is 100% logical to me. Maybe this is something we will hear about if/when we hear more about the computers and maybe even when Mike testifies again... again, JMO![]()
It was complete overkill and very personal.
I really dont think Joey checked out anything about CM. He took his word at face value. Often honest induviduals mistakenly think everyone else is honest like them.
I think he bought his gift of gab totally.
Joey isn't the only business owner by far to be so trusting unwisely, and naively when giving others a chance who did not appreciate it.
Joey strikes me as a very good, kind hearted person who sees the best in everyone even dismissing the negative
I think Joey's inner make up was all about helping others.
He may have even thought if he treated CM well, fairly, and with respect, he could change CM into becoming a decent human being too.
The true crime channels are filled with murder cases where very kind, and caring people were murdered by the very someone who they had helped the most.
Imo, none of this was Joey's fault. He is just another victim who did the right thing by their murderer, and was murdered because of those kind deeds who were finally going to cease.

1) That is only 16 months after the disappearance and the general perception was the family "willingly left".
2) There had been no court mandated settlement of the estate at that time.
3) Under what possible legal premise did DK have the right to sell Joey's business.
These are the questions that give me pause in deciding whether CM is the only person involved with the crime, let alone the sole perp and deserving of murder 1! moo
Yes I thought that didn't sound quite right. I don't have a great deal of respect for Watts either. He's a borderline tabloid reporter imo.RSBM
I think that's supposed to be "passports" and not 'passwords'?

Only 16 months? As I said, a long time later. Iirc DK came into contact with these people after he placed the ad online in 2011, so unless he wisked them all back in time to help murder the family, it's a lot to infer.This is a direct quote from the article I posted: ..."In July 2011, Kavanaugh ended up selling McStay's business, Earth Inspired Products"...

No I get what you're saying. But I think it was only Mike, his friend Don and possibly Guy on there posting.I didn't imply anything regarding MM.

That's why I think a cut off of the cash spigot sparked the murder
I suspect Joey was going to withhold the 26K from SA and PM which brings the debt down to 20K approx
Chase murdered him so he could cash more cheques - he needed money right away
But we cannot ignore that he had Ben gambling for years and the impact that can have on his eventual downward spiralHis gambling was nothing new, he had been doing it for years. Killing Joey and his family would just cut off that source of income to gamble IMO
YES. I have always wondered if that triggered Chase somehow. He wanted Joey to hand over a few grand for rent and Joey shows up with hundred bucks that weekBut my point is Merritt being broke wouldn't be that far sighted.
He needed his fix and he needed it quickly.
What i wonder was the $100 cheque Joey gave to Merritt on the day of the murders? An insult to Merritt? The thousands of dollars were no longer going to be incoming from JM to Merritt?
I think so too. Especially considering it was the beginning of the month and his rent was due. Was it $2,500.? $3,000?
Remember, according to McGyver, Chase was at JM's on 1/31 and 2/2. My guess is....Chase was desperate and trying to get rent/food money from Joey. So CM goes to Joey's on 1/31 to ask for money. But, instead of handing over a couple of thousand like he's probably done many times in the past, JM might have said something like "let me go over the books tonight and see where we're at".
The next day, on 2/1 JM sends CM the email showing that Chase owed $42,845.00.
Still desperate and needing money, Chase decides to try again and goes back to Joey's on 2/2. This is when, IMO, Joey gives Chase the check for $200. Not $2,000..only $200.
This is the turning point IMO, I think Chase might have realized he wasn't going to be able to manipulate Joey anymore and their collaboration was coming to an end.
Chase goes home, prints the check for $2,495. Goes to Union Bank and cashes it.
There is no going back now. All MOO!
